The Student-Loan Scam

By providing FREE roads in the Interstates, the government has created a surplus of highway drivers with a limited amount of highway. The result is rush hour traffic jams. In a scenario where the highways were provided by a private entity charging for use, only those that absolutely HAD to use the highway at rush hour would be willing to pay the rush hour rate. People would carpool VOLUNTARILY because it would make economic sense. Traffic would thin out during Rush hour because there would be less traffic. People going to work would pay the going rate at rush hour, people shopping or traveling at leisure would wait for less expensive fares at less congested times of the day. No traffic problems, thanks to the miracle of the free market.
